So, I’m reading “Trend Trading for a Living” by Carr. In it, he talks about a pullback method, and I thought I would try coding it in SF.
Here are his rules:
Identify a stock that has pulled back to an up sloping 20MA or 50MA.
20MA is rising, and is above the 50MA
The stochastics (5,3 period) is to or below the oversold 20 line.
Average Volume(60)> 500000
Close is > 15
Close is < than Close 5 days ago * 1.15
Below is my SF code.
Let me know if anyone has any tweaks to add. Would love your feedback.
Thanks!

You cannot use multiple calculations in one sentence of code
Close is < than Close 5 days ago * 1.15
should be
set{x, close 5 days ago * 1.15}
close below x

Hi Miketranz,
Could you please explain why you sort column 5 (Correlation FMI 200) by descending? Does this mean the lower the FMI 200 number, the better candidate it is for a possible trade?
Thank you for sharing!
